No - it will work fine with any input. It runs off the first ASIO input, and you simply use the routing utility in the soundcard driver to assign a particular physical input to the ASIO in.
The problem in using Allocator in a live setting is that the full Allocator includes a phase-correction element that works using fixed 8192 sample blocks. This imposes some delay in the signal that is generally not tolerated in live settings.The 'allocator lite' does not include this phase correction step, and so the delay can be minimized.
If you're planning to use an external input in the context of a video system, you'll want to use the 'lite' version. For pure audio applications, the delay from the full version shouldn't be an issue.
